Read Prof. Jega's epic response to Orubebe this morning

After PDP party agent Godsday Orubebe created an embarrassing scene at the collation centre in Abuja this morning, trying to disrupt announcement of results (read here) a very calm Jega told him;

"Mr Orubebe, you are a former Minister of the Federal Republic .You
are a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you
say or what allegations or accusations you make. Certainly you should be
careful about your public conduct"

Jega's response to Orubebe has been hailed as mature and worthy of praise. In fact, there's a meaning for Jega now. 'Jega' - meaning - 'To be inexplicably chilled in the midst of stupidity or conflict".
lol. Prof Jega's full response after the cut

"You have made two comments. One is that you submitted a petition
which I refused to accept. Secondly you claimed that there was a result
released by the APC which you alleged that we gave to them or I gave to
them. With regards to the first point, yesterday after we took the
first batch of results in this hall and as we declared a recess until 4pm,
as I was walking down back to the office, my PA came to me and said
that here are some papers that Dr Bello Fadile, a representative of the
PDP said that he should collect it; that I said Dr Fadile should give
him those papers. I told him that I didn't tell Dr Fadile to give any
papers to you. Return them to him because Dr Fadile, after we declared
for recess came on to this platform. As a party agent, he is not
supposed to do that and gave some documents to my PA who is writing
results here. and I am sure some of the agents and some of the pressmen
may have seen that and I told my PA to take back those documents to him.
If he told you I told him to give you any documents, I did not. Take
them back to him, Subsequently, Dr Fadile sent me a text message saying
that there are petitions and that he wants to submit them. I told him we
don't collect petitions on the platform when we are declaring results
and then he said I should have left my office open so that they can
submit those petitions in my office. I told him our secretary, the
secretary to the commission is not anywhere in this hall. She is in her
office and that her business is to receive communication. If they are
important enough, she would bring them to me here. I have started
collation. I cannot be receiving petition in this hall or in this
platform. And when I replied that text message, he replied again and
said Okay, he will see what he can do. I interpreted the text as he was
going to take that petition or whatever document he has to the secretary
of the commission. As I speak with you now, I have not received
anything from the secretary to the commission. That is regards to the
issue of the so called petition.

Regarding
results published by APC on its website, I do not give results to
anybody. The results were announced formally as INEC are results
declared here. And we have warned everybody to be careful and to ensure
that the do not declare results which we have not officially announced.
So as far as I am concerned I have not seen any results. I have not
given anybody any results. So for you to even engage me on that issue I
think frankly that is not fair to me. I have not seen the results. How
can I speak on something that I have not seen. So please let us be
careful of what we say or do so that we do not disrupt a process that
has ended peacefully and in a matter of hours we would be able to finish
it.". Jega said

Jega, you just prove to the world at large that Nigeria still have sane intellectuals! Thank God the reign of mediocrity, classless and tyrannical leadership will soon be a thing of the past. We will jegalically wait for the announcement.

That was a very shameful act by Orubebe. Anyways linda, fayose just congratulated buhari. The guy has no iota of shame. After talking trash like someone who has diarrhea of the mouth. Now himself n ffk will be forced to bury their head in shame.

Honestly, Jega does not have the qualities of a commission chairman but possess the quality, attributes, knowledge and power of a president. It's just unfortunate that he's announcing the new president today. If not we would have considered him. Honestly, this dude had been cool headed and leveled dude so far!

So what makes his response epic? He simply gave his own version of what happened 'behind the scene'.Also, he did not comment on the tribalistic/selective allegation raised as regards INEC's rapid response to the APC's protest in Rivers state. Why?

Criminals. The results were everywhere before they were announced. Now Buhari is president if we don't see changes God will not forgive all the people that sacrificed us. JEGA you're a CRIMINAL. The election was rigged

I am not a fan of buhari and may never be but I surrender, he has won most of the votes and so I think he has in TRUTH won the election. Is a shame that at the end Tinubu has actually shown that gej is clueless because he should have seen this coming and he had all the opportunity to stop it but he was blinded by his team + his wife. Is true that they say beside every successful man, their is a very strong woman unfortunately, madam patience was only but a very big noise maker and she indirectly destroyed gej. And our Nigerian women never truly appriated her. The Nigerian women have most to lose from today's election so long as am concerned as they would never again enjoy the pivotal points they enjoyed in gej,S administration. May God bless and guide Nigeria. He has spoken hopefully through the people. I hope Buhari will represent all of our dreams and make us all proud of him. May hw(buhari) prove us (that do not believe in him) all wrong in Jesus name.Amen.

I love Mr Jega. His calmness is out of this world! Change has indeed come to Nigeria. PDP politicians who wish to defect to APC will have to undergo a screening process. It will not be automatic!. Thanks Prof Jega for not cancelling the Rivers election. God has shamed them all ooo. Indeed, God must be a Nigerian who resides in Nigeria.

What do you mean that we will experience the end of Boko Haram in Africa?. So Buhari has the switch botton for Boko haram?. That means that he is behind it but there is such a thing as Karma and i hope Nigerians will have the memory to remember what happened in a few years time. There is Godooh!.

Ur a bigger fool than for saying that. The man made a nuisance of himself and u say she should shut up abi 'short up' as u put it. So in ur own little head, there is no better way that he could have expressed himself? U are indirectly saying u too are a nuisance.

What is it about these hatred for northerners? A lot of these so called abokis are more decent and have better character than our southerners. When will Nigerians outgrow these sentiments? Ok o continue
